WHY FLOW?FLOW IS AN OPTIMAL STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. A STATE WHERE YOU FEEL YOUR BEST AND

PERFORM YOUR BEST.

Have you ever found yourself so completely immersed in a task that hours flew by unnoticed? Or been so absorbed with what you are doing, that the doing became the goal in itself, and the results left you on a high, full of energy and feeling beyond accomplished? Then it’s likely that you’ve experienced the effortless state of performance, known as flow.

Some of the worlds elite, like the Navy Seals, Google, Fortune 500 companies, and elite sports teams are known to use flow to create cutting-edge performances. And in sport it’s often referred to as being ‘in the zone’, or known as runners high.

When in flow:• Our energy and productivity skyrockets• We become healthier and happier• Innovation and creativity go through the roof• We run circles around our normal performance and output levels• Struggles vanish and negative self-talk (our inner critic) stops

Put simply, flow is often the stuff that happens when others said it wasn’t humanly possible. As a result, flow, at its best, can make us feel super human. The best version of ourselves, helping us feel our most confident, most productive and most ourselves.

However flow is commonly misunderstood. Often put on a pedestal and turned into something that is elusive and exclusive, only for the elite. And if we manage to achieve flow we put it down to chance or a fluke.

The best thing is that flow is actually accessible to everyone. Some even say it is our birth-right! And when we know how to trigger it, the likelihood of creating flow becomes more achievable, and consequently the results, feelings and life impacts, become more accessible to us as well.

“What a fantastic day for all of us. I

was buzzing afterwards and there

was lots to reflect on from all the

dialogue. Such an awesome

experience!

*Paul Zak – The Neuroscience of Trust

FLOW THE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE ENHANCER

PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE

A 10 year McKinsey study reported that

top executives were 500% more

productive in flow.

Flow at its best can make us feel super

human. Our most confident, most

capable and most authentic selves.

VITALITY, RESILENCE & WELLBEING

Flow Guru, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

also reports that people who

experience more flow in life are

some of the happiest and healthiest

people alive.

HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTURE

Flow can help create a happy, healthy

and productive organisational culture.

And these type of organisations,

retain and attract the best people.

The cost to lose a great leader, then

recruit and induct a replacement

(salary of approx. $140k pa) is up to

$63,000.

MOTIVATION & MINDSET

Steven Kotler also reports flow increases stamina, dampens pain , increases

empathy and ecological awareness, as well as increases energy, motivation, and

focus.

Some of the worlds elite, like the Navy Seals, Google and Fortune 500 companies teach their people how to trigger flow to help create cutting-edge performances.

INNOVATION & CREATIVITY

Flow researcher and author Steven Kotler

reports that flow can increase creativity by

400%.

Work done by Mihaly Csikszentmihaly

shows that flow can significantly boost

creativity and that heightened creativity

seems to outlast the state by a day,

sometimes two.

CAPABILITY & LEARNING

Steven Kotler also shares that flow can

increase learning uptake by 240 – 500%.

Potentially cutting in half Malcolm

Gladwell’s theory of needing 10,000

hours to attain skill mastery.

THE WIM HOF METHOD & NIGEL BEACH

In this unique workshop, Nigel Beach, a physiotherapist of over 2 decades and one of the few certified Wim Hof Instructors worldwide, will guide you through the fundamentals of the Wim Hof Method (WHM).

These techniques Dutchman Wim Hof developed and used to find peace, control his autonomic nervous system, and achieve a high level of human performance, establishing 26 world records, including; climbing Mount Everest in shorts, running a marathon barefoot above the polar circle and standing immersed in ice for nearly 2 hours.

Your experience will include teachings around why we need to use Wim’s method, how you can influence your own physiology and how we can break through what we thought possible.

You will be immersed in the profound experience as we explore the 3 pillars of the method: Breathing Exercises, Cold Exposure, and Mindset/Focus. You will be learning, moving, breathing, expanding your human potential and conquering an ice bath!

The small group will allow you to get personal instruction and come away with the tools, training, and knowledge to begin or upgrade your daily practice in the Wim Hof Method.

WHAT TO BRINGTHE DETAILS

ABOUT MEI AM A VITALITY AND PERFORMANCE SPECIALIST WHO CREATES AND DELIVERS

CHANGE & TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMMES FOR ‘KICKING IT’ IN SPORT, LIFE

AND WORK.

Jo ShortlandVITALITY & PERFORMANCE SPECIALIST

If you want to unearth ultimate

performance for yourself or your team

alongside maximising vitality and

inspiration then we might just make the

perfect team.

For us to get results I'll need you to be

willing to team up with me, to lean into

the vulnerability of change and

probably unlearn some habits that no

longer serve you.

You’ll also need to be ready for

success. Success that you thought

might be reserved for others. And

success that will keep you grounded in

what really matters and on top of your

game.

I’m a certified Neuroleadership coach, a

qualified personal trainer, and have

almost two decades of experience

working in vitality & performance, team

development, mindset development,

leadership, and creating solutions to

help athletes, leaders and organisations

succeed.

Having worked in some complex and

challenging environments, I have 'in the

trenches' knowledge (and some good

war stories) of how to make change

really stick.

Alongside of this, I’m a health and

fitness enthusiast. You’ll often find me

extending my own limits trekking up

mountains, training for a half-iron

man, in the gym, mountain biking,

surfing, snowboarding and road or dirt

biking.

With me you won’t get band-aid

solutions or dusty folders sitting on the

shelf from that training you once went

to. My work is founded on transforming

with the brain in mind, and a belief that

the best ideas and actions are those

that are driven from our own intuitive

knowledge.

I’ve also been told I have a bit of a

knack for ‘just knowing’ what each

person needs to do to make their

changes stick, so no cookie cutter

solutions here – just real, aligned and

meaningful, applied change.

If it sounds like we might make a good

team, ask me how you can become part

of my network of amazing humans and

organisations who are digging deep,

smashing ceilings and pushing past

their limits to make a meaningful

difference.

IF YOU WORK WITH ME

IT’S LIKELY YOU’LL BE:

• More than interested in stretching your potentialand finding your and/ or your team’s edges and ceilings

• Someone who wants to create change that sticksfor the long term

• Keen to make a meaningfuldifference.

I choose to specialise in working with high performing athletes, executives,

entrepreneurs, teams and organisations. My programmes blend multiple facets of

optimal human performance to create changes that make the most difference in

sport, life and leadership.
